Goodman:
AshamInstead of saying " reminds me of ", how could I rephrase it by putting in "reminisce" in the mix? Is it possible? From my POV perhaps it's not the best suited word for this purpose, but what do I know? Could someone give me a few examples of how to best use the word "reminisce". Thanks in advance!
John and I were reminiscing the good old childhood day when we were growing up on the countryside, going fishing and playing in the field on the hot summer days as we were sipping on wines by the riverbank.
Reminise has a positive feel-good annotation to it, meaning retracing the memory of something happy in time passed.
